Mine is hissing, I am assuming its leaking and not the norm.(':(') P.S the correct name for the pipe and cylindrical thing would be handy.

Not *quite*.... This is the throttle bypass with active valve to control idlespeed. However the 'ole is certainly big enough to have the effect of a partially open throttle (actually when you floor the throttle, the idlespeed system *should* open the valve all the way providing extra air). The brake servo should have a non-return valve so it will allow you to stop at least once if this happens (if it didn't have a non-return valve, left-foot braking would be a bit of a challenge when under boost!
